House Vinyl New Releases - News

Kiko Navarro has released on some pretty impressive labels - Nite Grooves, Third Ear and even King Street Sounds to name a few! which makes us very excited to have him as part of Plastik People. Kiko delivers us some straight up dance floor house killers, first track, Bates Dance has infectious strings combined with moody drums & rhythms that are reminiscence of early Point G sounds that came out on Basic Recordings back in the day, Kiko then follows up with a groovy hip shaking track called Camon Yo! which will certainly move any floor.
Remixes come from Cotterell who's previously released under this moniker on Various People Vol.2, the remix keeps that old school garage vibe with deep shuffling drums and moody chords. The EP is rounded of from man of the hour and part of Rhythm Plate - Matt Rivem, he keeps lots of the original feel from Camon Yo! while given it a late night 5am Goshawk regurgitation.

Black Vinyl 2x12"

‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is NYC mutant Madteo’s incredible new album of trigger-happy club graffiti on Demdike Stare’s DDS, weighing in a keenly anticipated follow-up to 2012’s cult-classic
‘Noi No’ LP for Sähkö Splitting at the seams with deviant funk and irrepressible attitude, Madteo’s first LP in 7 years forms a fractal, mixtape-like mosaic of asymmetric techno informed by skewed traces of rap, House, R&B and dancehall. Its 12 tracks are delivered in an enviably nonchalant, freehand style that’s become the Italian-American artist’s ear-snagging signature since 2012’s ‘Noi No’ and ‘Mad Dip Revue’ albums, and also a dozen 12”s and mixtapes over the interim; all of which exerted heavy inspiration for everyone from Andy Stott and Joy O to Demdike Stare over the past decade, making this new LP a perfectly unusual fit for the anything-goes DDS aesthetic shared by label alumni including Mica Levi, Equiknoxx, Iueke and Shinichi Atobe.
Without beating around the bush, ‘Dropped Out Sunshine’ is a straight-up masterpiece of cut-up sampledelia bound to make the club dance differently. Crammed with sawn-off edits that never lose the thread, its wild and effortlessly inventive turns of phrase are anathema to linear club music convention, generating fizzing alchemy from mutually exclusive bedfellows such as dancehall and techno, or R&B and noise that could really only be executed by a producer of Madteo’s calibre. Yet for all its singular nature, the album is also patently symptomatic of the times,
sub-consciously parsing a gripping intimacy, personality and urgent yet elusive psychedelia from ubiquitous media overload.
Kicking off with another *****-sampling zinger ‘1 4 U’ (following his infamous use of ‘Marvin’s Room’ on ‘Noi No’), and ending up mired in the melancholy gauze of ‘The Lies That Bind’, at each step the
album effortlessly resists a struggle to square the nature of artistic expression. Fragments of gospel blues noise intersect gauntlets of filtered house fuckry, while restless Autechrian electro rubs up against uncoiled trap and needle-worrying levels of textured bass turbulence, leading to an outrageous turn of stuttering ragga-tekno in ‘Resident Alien (Broke-’n-Steppers Reluctant Club Mix)’ and a final side of collapsed, post-club styles that will leave listeners wondering wtf just happened, and ready to do it all again.

The mysterious and self proclaimed creator of 'concrete funk' ensures that all four tracks of this release deserve serious floor space.

About We Play House Recordings

We Play House Recordings - WPH - is the work of Belgian DJ & producer Red D. Started 10 years ago to release the music of his friend san Soda, the label had (and has) the aim to release house music in all its shapes and forms. WPH's house ethics date back to the days where house was just a name for music that was played in clubs. There is no such thing as tech house, no such thing as deep house or minimal, there is simply (house) music, good or bad.

We Play House Recordings is lovingly led by Red D (real name Bart Van Neste), one of Belgium's leading underground music figures. Be it in his role as DJ, A&R, promoter, music panel host or general nitelife instigator, Red D does things with passion, humor and a healthy dose of keeping-both-feet-firmly-on-the-ground...with a twist...

WPH was started in 2007, so it takes no math genius to know that in 2017 the label is celebrating its 10 years anniversary. Running from the spring till winter 2017 this anniversary will be celebrated with special vinyl releases, a triple CD, a digital compilation, a Spotify playlist and a series of label nights all over Belgium and beyond. True to form the compilation will have WPH classics but also a BIG bunch of new material from core artists of the label like Locked Groove, San Soda, Kiani & His Legion, Fabrice Lig and many more.

London's Counterfeit Soul gathers some serious hitters for the labels 4th release.

If an artist strives to leave a mark on music he must be more concerned with his character than his reputation. In that regard, Sander Mölder makes the perfect example. Hailing from Estonia, Sander has worked his way through a classical formation after thirteen years of cello tuition, which allowed him to perform at London's Royal Albert Hall as part of a chamber orchestra and at Red Bull Music Academy in 2012.

With roots in funk, garage and deep house, Sander style is not confined by genre barriers, but whatever he does, there's a definitive soul element to it. Originally surfacing in 2013 and played by legendary British selector Gilles Peterson and BBC 1 host Mary-Anne Hobbs, 'In Your Eyes' gets an official release on Rebirth in 2014 with a strong remix package. The first 10" part includes mixes from Eddie Fowlkes and Lay-Far.

Detroit master of Technosoul Eddie Fowlkes follows his hot 'Something Special' tune with a great mix, cutting the original vocals and synth parts and delivering a strong version, that sounds already hot for the summer days.

The Moscow-based dj and produce Lay-Far is on the B side showing again his talent for deep 'n slow disco vibe fusing deep rhythms, jazz, funk and soul.

For the 4th release ITF heads towards the summer. On the A side joining in on remix activities is Windows. Formerly known as dj WIndows XP. After their output on Who's Susan and Andarta this remix proves again their talent for creating smooth and sexy house music. The B-side consists of 2 original tracks where " Submarine" shows the more Detroit melodic side of ITF while" Just One Turn " shows the more intimate side of the label. After the successful re-release of Pluto the journey continues in the future....

Forgot 002 is the second release from London based record label Forgot. The compilation is comprised of four tracks by four different artists: Forgot residents Hoffy and Joe S both return, while newcomers Lavan and Cass Brooker also contribute.

Since its release campaign launched earlier this year, the Forgot 002 compilation has received a wealth of positive feedback from a number of revered and respected DJs such as Dom Servini, Asian Hawk, Jason Pulaski and Dr. Best.

The anniversary Mancha number 10 comes from label owner "Back For Good (Matthias Speck - - Specki ) himself. Two dirty - wavy tracks have been lovinly carved into vinyl and on top there is a brilliant remix by Rotterdam based DJ Overdose (Model Man) who is known by his popular releases on Bordello A Parigi, L.I.E.S. records and Créme Organization and of course for his activity on Intergalactic FM. Cheers
